The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 246 The Battle of Wutong Ridge ([-])
At this moment, there are only [-] Beiying troops left under Kong Yuan's command.

It's just obvious that his central army failed to break through the Song army's formation in the front, and it was obviously difficult for the northern camp's army to go around to the back.

After the guard was stunned, he choked up and shouted: "General, let's withdraw!"

Amidst the sound of the explosion, his cry was particularly desolate.

He has been with Kong Yuan for many years, and he has rarely seen Kong Yuan lose a battle, and he has never seen him lose so embarrassingly.

Thinking about the past, even if the general was not able to attack the city, he would often be able to retreat calmly.But it seems that after arriving in Guangxi, the gods no longer favored the general.

Under the city of Wuzhou, an army of [-] troops paid a very heavy price to break through Wuzhou, which was stationed by [-] Song troops.But right now, the general was forced to such a dead end by the Song army.

The [-] troops stationed at Wutong Ridge were wiped out by the Song army in less than two quarters of an hour.

Although he was always just a personal guard, he could vaguely feel what Kong Yuan was feeling at this moment.

The general died in a hundred battles, and suffered such a big defeat, the general might have no face to go back to see the coach Boyan.

This kind of defeat will become a shame for the general in his life.

However, as a personal guard, he still has to persuade.This is his responsibility as a personal guard, as long as he leaves, there may be a chance to avenge his shame.

Unfortunately, Kong Yuan just said: "If I had ordered the soldiers to charge before the Song army had set up their formation, the result might not be like this..."

In this battle, they can be said to have lost completely to the grenadiers of the Song Army.If it weren't for the artillery shells of the Song army that rained down on the Yuan army's formation, with their prospering cavalry, even if the Song army had thunderbolt cannons and firecrackers, they might not be able to defeat the Yuan army.

After all, close combat is the world of cavalry.

When the personal guard heard Kong Yuan's words, his eyes immediately darkened.

General Kong took all the faults on himself, making him instantly understand that Kong Yuan had no plans to return to Duanxi City.

He still wants to persuade, but he doesn't know how to persuade.

The general is a face-saving person. If he returns alive, he will no longer be considered a victorious general in the future.

But Kong Yuan said again: "Take all the brothers back and report the victory of the Song Army's firearms to the Marshal, so that the Marshal will not give the Song Army a chance to deploy troops."

Hearing this, the personal guard suddenly fell to his knees, "The villain Zhao Si swears to follow the general to the death!"

He has been with Kong Yuan for more than ten years. If Kong Yuan doesn't go back, he doesn't know where to go.

The surrounding guards also knelt down, their eyes flushed, "I will follow the general to the death!"

Almost all the personal guards in the army are passionate.

Most of the personal guards like them are carefree people, this life, has long been decided to die for Kong Yuan at any time.

Kong Yuan's face flushed slightly, a little moved.

These personal guards understand him, and he also knows the loyalty of these personal guards.

They are all soldiers brought out by him.

"it is good!"

Kong Yuan didn't persuade these guards any more, his eyes were filled with tears, but his face was no longer depressed.

The end of a hero is also a matter of ambition and pride.

He turned his head to look at the Yuan Dynasty green forest camp priests who were not very good-looking around him, cupped his hands and said: "I am determined to fight the Song army here, so I will trouble you to go back and report to the marshal."

"Farewell!"

The offerings didn't say much, the leader bowed his hands to Kong Yuan, and then led the offerings away.

The Green Forest Camp was established separately in the Yuan Dynasty and was not under the control of Kong Yuan. They were only here to help, and naturally they would not stay here and wait for Kong Yuan to die.

Soon, the figures of these worshipers disappeared on Wutong Ridge.

Kong Yuan watched these offerings go away, without any complaints in his heart, he said to the guard: "Bring the drums, I was going to beat the drums myself."

He also has [-] Beiying troops.

Drums start.

The wind is rustling.

Bursts of drums resounded on Wutong Ridge.

Kong Yuan beat the drum himself, and there were only dozens of guards around, and a few messengers and drummers.

Fighting was still going on at the foot of the mountains on the east and south sides, but soldiers of the Yuan army had already begun to flee.

The gunshots continued and the shouts continued.

With the sound of the drum, the [-] Beiying army of the Yuan army finally circled behind Su Quandang's army.

But it is a pity that what they ran into head-on was the overwhelming artillery attack of the Song army.

Su Quandang had already spotted their movements with a telescope.

He was only a few hundred meters away from the north of Wutong Ridge. With a telescope, he could even see the mice on the northern hillside clearly, let alone a full 4000 yuan army?
Therefore, even though these Yuan troops had tried their best to go as far as possible and conceal themselves, they still could not escape their sight.

The sound of shouting and killing suddenly resounded under Wutong Ridge again.

When the Northern Army of the Yuan Army rushed to the rear of the Song Army, they were shocked to find that the Song Army did not panic at all.

The Song army's rear army seemed to be waiting in full force, as if they were waiting for them to come.

The gun went off.

The Yuan army cavalry in the front row screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

In the rear of the Song army, there seemed to be a thousand and five firecrackers.

And that's all, after a round of gunshots, four hundred thunderbolt cars were also pushed to the front of the army.

"put!"

Amidst the general's loud shouts, four hundred crossbow arrows with thunderbolt cannons roared towards the formation of Yuan army cavalry.

Balls of dirt and grass clippings were blown away.

The people in the Yuan army and the Northern army were turned on their backs, and countless soldiers and horses were blown to pieces, bloody and bloody.

The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

Kong Yuan watched this scene on the hillside, his right hand holding the long sword couldn't help trembling slightly.

He knew that they had no hope of winning this war.

With [-] northern troops, it is impossible to break through the large formation that the Song army is waiting for, and it is completely sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Those ballistas of the Song Army, as well as their firecrackers, were too powerful.Without tens of thousands of cavalry, there is no way to break through their formation.

But Kong Yuan had no intention of recalling the Northern Army.

The cavalry charge has been completed, even if they retreat at this time, it is impossible to leave many people behind.

There was some grief and indignation in his eyes again, he put the sword across his neck, and said: "Brothers, this general will go first."

Sometimes, for a victorious general, a big defeat means death.

It can be said that they are cherishing Lingyu, or they are too concerned about face.However, this is the truth.

Not everyone who goes smoothly can withstand the twists and turns. Kong Yuan defeated the Yuan army all the way, and it was really hard for him to accept such a big defeat.

The sword crossed the long neck.

On this day, Kong Yuan, the vanguard general of the Yuan Dynasty, killed himself on Wutong Ridge.

"General!"

Dozens of guards knelt down and wept bitterly.

Afterwards, none of them, as well as the messengers and other soldiers who stayed on the slope, chose to live, and all followed Kong Yuan.

In war, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, they are all people with blood on their hands, but there is no doubt that Kong Yuan is a man and a good general.

His personal guards are also men.

They are real soldiers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the [-] troops of the Northern Camp of the Yuan Army also disappeared on the battlefield. Those who died died, those who surrendered, and those who fled.

The sound of fighting at the mountain behind the peak and at the foot of Xichu mountain has completely stopped.

With an army of 2 yuan, except for those enshrined in the Green Forest Camp, there are very few survivors.

On the slopes of Wutong Ridge and the surrounding fields, there are scattered corpses of the Yuan army everywhere.

There were also battle flags and corpses burning.

Su Quandang led Zhao Da, Liu Zaiyuan and the others up Wutong Ridge to the hillside near the top of Wutong Ridge.

There are no Yuan army tents here.

On the barren grass, there were the corpses of Kong Yuan and other nearly one hundred yuan troops.All of them killed themselves with long swords.

Su Quandang glanced at the corpses on the ground. Kong Yuan was covered with black armor inlaid with gold silk, red cloak, and cloud helmet with wings. His identity could be identified at a glance.This kind of armor is only available to commanders above ten thousand commanders in the Yuan army.

Su Quandang was silent. As a general, he could understand why Kong Yuan committed suicide here.

Liu Zaiyuan and the others were also silent.

After a long while, Su Quandang sighed: "Kong Yuan is a man, come and collect all these corpses and bury them properly on Wutong Ridge."

The sky is already very bright.

Everywhere in Wutong Ridge, the Song Army is collecting the remains of the Yuan Army soldiers and Song Army soldiers, and some are escorting the Yuan Army to surrender.

Su Quandang summoned artisans in the army to use local materials, and after the soldiers hid the bodies of Kong Yuan and those personal guards, he personally erected a monument for Kong Yuan.

"The tomb of Kong Yanheng, a forward general in Yuan Zheng and Song Dynasties."

Yanheng is the character of Kong Yuan.

Afterwards, Su Quandang asked Feilong soldiers to fire ten cannons for Kong Yuan, and then he burned all the corpses of the Yuan army and the Song army, and returned to Cenxi.

It was already evening by this time.

The battle of Wutong Ridge was undoubtedly a great victory for the Song army.

According to statistics, there were more than 2000 soldiers of the Yuan army, and [-] prisoners. Only [-] soldiers fled away, and they did not know where they went.

However, Su Quandang's Tiangang Army only lost less than 500 people.

The triumphant soldiers of the Song Army returned to the city loaded with trophies, and most of them were excited and beaming with joy.

When they were the Rebel Army and the Xiang Army, they had never won such a big victory.

The power of the grenades, thunderbolt chariots, and dragon guns also gave them the hope of resisting the Yuan Dynasty and restoring the Song Dynasty.

The iron cavalry of the Yuan army is no longer invincible.

On Wutong Ridge, there are only burned tents, battle flags, and countless potholes.

The setting sun slowly sets down the hill.

Wutong Ridge returned to calm, but in the night wind, there seemed to be countless heroic souls still shouting.
